TEN-YEAR-OLD Mohaira Sanama, representing Tagum City was crowned this year’s Munting Mutya ng Davnor 2019, held at GMall of Tagum on June 30, 2019. Princess Charmae Bastasa from Island Garden City of Samal was crowned Munting Diwa ng DavNor 2019 and Alexa Abapo from Municipality of Kapalong was crowned Munting Sinag ng DavNor 2019.
Munting Mutya celebrates its first ever kid pageant in the province of Davao del Norte -- a celebration of the longest running kid pageant in Mindanao made in celebration with the 52nd Araw ng Davao del Norte. The event is made possible by GMall of Tagum, co-presented by the Provincial Government of Davao del Norte and STI College – Tagum.
Present during the coronation day were DavNor Provincial Tourism Officer Noel Daquiaog, GMall Marketing Head Dinah Antojado, and other DavNOr Provincial Tourism officers.
Munting Mutya 2019 featured pint-sized beauty queens decked out in posh gowns, full make up and big hair. Even if the world of pageants can be cutthroat and extremely competitive, these girls shared friendly conversations, having fun and enjoyed being onstage.
“Munting Mutya ng DavNor aims to train young women to develop strong confidence and a better sense of who they are”, official event organizer Christopher Ledesma of Stunning Events and Weddings. Ledesma conceptualized the entire show alongside Designer/Stylist Richie Uy Delos Santos.
GMall’s endorser and Tawag ng Tanghalan Daniel Padilla Nico Tiu serenaded the girls.
Prizes include cash, gift certificates, 4-year full scholarship from STI Tagum, and gift packs from sponsors.
